Tasting notes
Dense, meaty, and yet still decadent and fruit driven, the 2010 Mollydooker Enchanted Path, a blend of 65% Shiraz and 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, delivers a rocking bouquet of ripe black fruits, bloody meat, tapenade, and leafy herbs that gives way to a full-bodied, silky, layered palate. While this doesn’t lack for fruit or texture, it has solid underlying depth, tannin, and structure that keeps it focused, clean and lively. It needs a substantial decant if drinking anytime soon, and will shine for over a decade.

Blended of 65% Shiraz and 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2010 Enchanted Path was matured for 12 months in 85% new oak (97% American and 3% French). Very deep purple-black colored, it gives notes of ripe cassis and black cherry compote over hints of smoked bacon, dark chocolate, espresso, cedar and cloves. Very full bodied, densely packed and opulent in the mouth, it has a medium level of grainy tannins, very crisp acidity and a long finish with some mintiness coming through. Drink it 2014 to 2022+.
